I saw this film once in the seventies as most of you did, and was so deeply moved. I somehow felt trapped in that Jenny Hanniver character and have never released her from my psyche-crazy as it seems. I am a musician who also writes only lonely haunting songs from the sea. I even have a song called Sea Turtle that I feel captures the bond that Jenny hanniver has with the turtle. A Jenny Hanniver was, as shown in the last moments of the film as I remember, a creature fashioned from the mutilated body of a manta ray dried in the sun. There seems to be no origin to why this creature, strangely humanoid in some cases, has this name. I wondered if the legend from the film was in fact the origin. Does anyone know? And yes I too would love to have a copy of this movie, and that lovely song at the end, so memorable...please be in touch if you've found copies!
score 9/10
